Description: The Seventh James A. Shannon Lecture

Last year the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council were asked to conduct a study examining the organizational structure of the National Institutes of Health. In particular, the study committee was tasked with considering whether there are general principles along which the NIH should be organized, whether the current organizational structure reflects those principles, what could be done to improve the NIH's ability to conduct biomedical research and training in the future. This presentation will discuss some of the principal findings of the study and their implications.
